Making it much easier to make changes, without the requirement of understanding the project structure thoroughly. (This feature is implemented based on the vite-plugin-vue-inspector)

🦄 Usage

Configuration Vite

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import VueDevTools from 'vite-plugin-vue-devtools'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    VueDevTools(),
    vue(),
  ],
})

Options

interface VitePluginVueDevToolsOptions {
  /**
  * append an import to the module id ending with `appendTo` instead of adding a script into body
  * useful for projects that do not use html file as an entry
  *
  * WARNING: only set this if you know exactly what it does.

}

💡 Notice

• Only available in development mode.

• Only support Vue3.0+.

• Currently only supports single-instance Vue applications (multi-instance support is coming soon).

• Doesn't support SSR (If you're using Nuxt, use nuxt/devtools directly).

• The plugin follows Vue's DevTools configuration, so if you have configured the hide option, it will also be applied in this plugin. e.g.

  // This Vue instance will be ignored by the plugin.
  createApp({
    render: () => h(App),
    devtools: {
      hide: true,
    },
  })
